the doc explicitly states that they would be 3 different cvs modules :/

this allows people to have bonobo components installed/running without X
installed.  it also allows us to have dependencies between the two
libraries.  we can also use new libraries when they become usable in the
3rd (components) module.

for example, if gtk had done this, gdk-pixbuf would be able to remain a
seperate library for 2.0.
